A Forester Turbo would dust most cars on this forum. Same with a RAV4 V6. Or Altima/Maxima/Quest minivan/anything with a Nissan VQ. And then get better fuel mileage and require zero maintenance.

That's not what we're in BMW's for, at least I hope anyway.

Was just gonna say; it's hard to admit, but my finacee's RAV4 sport feels like it would walk all over either of my cars in a 1/4 mile, even my "mighty" 540i/6. lol. Not so sure about the better fuel mileage thing though. We've yet to beat my E36 on a trip up to the cottage and back. That's with me driving either vehicle (going for economy) and the same 2 people, dog, cooler and gym bag pretty much every time.

It should when im done
Well at least in the 14's but its main build is for tracks than straights.

If you want to keep things in perspective.. My little 4 as it sits now holds its own pretty good with most modern cars within a range... It has bested the lancer gt, really close with focus svt, sir/si civics... Can it do well vs m3, mustang, amg, S4, g35, etc.. No... V6 camry not the new one , the 4 im sure it would be close... But for a 21 yr old car with a few mods done and more on the way she goes pretty good.

I love it when i go on the crusies when people dont believe i have a 1.8... Till i show them.

Yeah... we are more in the 16-17 second range with m42. Still, for a 17+ yr old cars, its kick ass.

A 1996-2000 corolla of similar design and vintage has NOTHING on me, and neither does a 1996-2000 vintage camry. New cars, are OBVIOUSLY FASTER, THEY ARE NEW.

Its all about comparing apples to apples, NOT apples to freaking watermelons people!!!
